| - I have been holding off writing this review for months. Ever since my first appointment there have been issues ranging from Misdiagnosis to Almost KILLING ME.
My first appointment was to figure out why after eating anything with dairy I would have anaphylaxis. They performed a Skin Prick test which came back negative. They diagnosed me with Idiopathic Anaphylaxis. I disagreed with their test (which Skin Prick Tests are NOT fool proof) and started making a Food Diary and listing all of the foods which cause a reaction, how long it took for the reaction to initiate and what were the symptoms of said reaction. After a month or two, I was able to show proof that Dairy is the cause of my reactions. They officially diagnosed me with a Dairy Allergy.
I also have Asthma, I was diagnosed in January 2016 by my Primary Care doctor, however he never prescribed any medication to maintain it. All I got was Ventolin which only reverses a active attack, it does nothing to prevent it. I was prescribed Symbicort by a Urgent Care center and my Insurance refused to pay for it. After being put on Dulera, my symptoms were greatly reduced, however I still was having more Asthma Attacks than what would be considered under control.
I had an appointment to perform a Pulmonary Function Test (which they force every patient to do at EVERY Appointment) and to go over my current medications. They found that my PFT came back with my Lung Function at ~70%, they claimed that my medications weren't working well enough. I was switched from Dulera to QVAR. After taking it only once, I refused to take it again since it burned my throat due to having Ethanol in it. I went back the next day and was told that they would be putting me on Breo. I filled the prescription and was told "This medication has Dairy in it and should NEVER be used if you have a Dairy Allergy" I called Tottori's office and was advised that "There isn't enough Dairy in it to trigger a reaction". Against my better judgement, I followed their advice and used Breo for the first time. 20 minutes later I was having a SERIOUS Allergic Reaction.
After going to Urgent Care I was found to be having a Symptomatic Allergic Reaction to Breo. I was given a "Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate 10MG/ML Injection" to my ass. The reaction quickly diminished and I was given HydrOXYzine HCI to manage any lingering reaction. I was told to NEVER take that Breo again.
I called Tottori's office and alerted them to my reaction. I was told to come in for a appointment to review my medications to find a solution. I brought in all of my left over medications to dispose including 4 never used Dulera Samples. They prescribed me Spiriva Respimat as a last ditch effort.
Over the next few days my symptoms were getting worse. I felt like I wasn't on any controller medication and was having very severe attacks. I looked up Spiriva online and found that even the manufacture states that Spiriva is an ADD-ON medication and should NEVER be used as a replacement for a Controller Medication. So I took one of my last remaining Dulera's and started using it in conjunction with Spiriva. After a day or two my Asthma Symptoms were starting to diminish. I was able to go over a week without using my Ventolin.
I alerted Tottori's office and requested that they submit a new prescription of Dulera. Little did I know, they would manage to screw this request up as well.
I was taking 200/5 Dulera, they submitted 100/5 Dulera. I now have to call and get this fixed.
My only question for Tottori is "WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY?" All they have managed to do is waste $1,000s and put my life in danger. I have never encountered a medical office so incapable of peer reviewing and preventing mistakes that put their patients lives at risk.
